Description:

The Panasonic DVD-H1000 DVD Player boasts a set of advanced features for the true audiophile or videophile. It offers a progressive video processor that converts film source signals to 480P output for reproduction of information that's more faithful to the original film. It can also convert interlaced to progressive scanning for an exceptionally accurate 480P signal. A 10-bit 4:4:4 signal processor converts recorded luminance and color-difference signals from 8 to 10 bits and "upsamples" color-signal data. Adjustable gamma allows you to choose from three different gamma settings to bring out detail in dark scenes. Even though the DVD-H1000 outputs a 480P signal formatted for 16:9 widescreen viewing, it can correctly display a 4:3 image on a 16:9 screen using the original scaling algorithm of a DVD disc designed for 4:3 viewing.

The Panasonic DVD-H1000 design incorporates audiophile-grade components like the newly developed electrolytic capacitors and high-capacity (0.1 microfarads) copper film capacitors. The R-core toroidal transformer minimizes power supply leakage flux for clean power supply operation that helps maintain treble clarity and bass performance. This player also offers an eight-block isolated chamber to avoid mechanical and electrical interference, further preserving audio and video signal purity. Its hybrid metal construction effectively disperses and suppresses resonance peaks, with large BMC insulator feet helping to absorb external vibrations to further reduce unwanted noise. Virtual Battery Operation helps prevent AC power supply noise from entering the audio circuitry.

This unit includes digital outputs for DTS and Dolby Digital decoders. Discrete component video outputs enable the transmission of digital video to compatible video equipment with component video inputs and for connection to two monitors at a time. Also included are an illuminated universal joystick remote and a warranty for a year on parts, 90 days on labor.
